FunFam 71351: Izumo sperm-egg fusion protein 1

Please note: GO annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

There are 4 GO terms relating to "molecular function"

The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
Receptor binding GO:0005102
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with one or more specific sites on a receptor molecule, a macromolecule that undergoes combination with a hormone, neurotransmitter, drug or intracellular messenger to initiate a change in cell function.
1 Q8IYV9 (/IPI)
Protein binding GO:0005515
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules).
1 Q8IYV9 (/IPI)
Protein homodimerization activity GO:0042803
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an identical protein to form a homodimer.
1 Q8IYV9 (/ISS)
Protein binding involved in heterotypic cell-cell adhesion GO:0086080
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex contributing to the adhesion of two different types of cells.
1 Q8IYV9 (/ISS)

There are 6 GO terms relating to "biological process"

The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
Cell adhesion GO:0007155
The attachment of a cell, either to another cell or to an underlying substrate such as the extracellular matrix, via cell adhesion molecules.
1 Q8IYV9 (/IC)
Single fertilization GO:0007338
The union of male and female gametes to form a zygote.
1 Q8IYV9 (/ISS)
Fusion of sperm to egg plasma membrane GO:0007342
The binding and fusion of a sperm, having penetrated the zona pellucida, with the plasma membrane of the oocyte. Binding occurs at the posterior (post-acrosomal) region of the sperm head.
1 Q8IYV9 (/IDA)
Fusion of sperm to egg plasma membrane GO:0007342
The binding and fusion of a sperm, having penetrated the zona pellucida, with the plasma membrane of the oocyte. Binding occurs at the posterior (post-acrosomal) region of the sperm head.
1 Q8IYV9 (/TAS)
Heterotypic cell-cell adhesion GO:0034113
The attachment of a cell to a cell of a different type via adhesion molecules.
1 Q8IYV9 (/ISS)
Sperm-egg recognition GO:0035036
The initial contact step made between the sperm plasma membrane and outer layer of the egg during fertilization.
1 Q8IYV9 (/ISS)

There are 3 GO terms relating to "cellular component"

The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
Plasma membrane GO:0005886
The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.
1 Q8IYV9 (/ISS)
Plasma membrane GO:0005886
The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.
1 Q8IYV9 (/TAS)
Integral component of membrane GO:0016021
The component of a membrane consisting of the gene products and protein complexes having at least some part of their peptide sequence embedded in the hydrophobic region of the membrane.
